Bernts point is still very valid - you should catch Exception, not Throwable. My bad!

   catch (Exception e)
   {
      System.out.println("exception thrown:");
      e.printStackTrace();
   }

It would probably be better to simply do

   catch (Throwable e)
Neineinei..... aldri be nybegynnere gjøre "catch Throwable". Det skal
man ligge langt unna helt til man er så erfaren at man faktisk vet hva
det innebærer. Denne vil cathe Error som du får f.eks. ved VM-feil,
hw-feil etc.

catch Exception er ok for debugging, men ikke i produksjonskode.

catch SQLException er det riktige



   {
      System.out.println("exception thrown:");
      e.printStackTrace();
   }

to get the full stacktrace for the SQLException that you see as well.

And just for the record, what version of derby are you using ?

Hi

This is what is being printed on the console.
The error message is in bold

Loaded the appropriate driver.
Connected to database  24k
exception thrown:
java.sql.SQLDataException: Invalid character string format for type
int.


The catch statement is as follows:-

       catch (Throwable e)
       {
           System.out.println("exception thrown:");

           if (e instanceof SQLException)
           {
               printSQLError((SQLException) e);
           }
           else
           {
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
       }




Hope that clears the picture??

   Aneez,

   Can you provide the call stack for the exception you get?
